New for 2013, standard launch control provides enhanced straight-line
acceleration†

The estimated 2,500 enthusiastic attendees who brought more than 1,000
different Chrysler, Dodge and SRT vehicles to the Eighth Annual Spring
Festival of LXs' this past weekend in Irvine,
Calif. received an exclusive first peek at the latest
limited-edition exterior package from the Chrysler Group's SRT (Street and
Racing Technology) brand, as president and CEO Ralph Gilles pulled the cover off of the new 392
Appearance Package for the Dodge Charger SRT8.

Designed to offer a modern interpretation of the classic muscle-car
styling cues of the Charger SRT8, the optional 392 Appearance Package adds
an extra dose of menacing appearance for iconic four-door fastback coupe,
with the following new appointments:

"The Spring Festival is the perfect location to debut our new 392
Appearance Package for the Dodge Charger SRT8 to some of our most dedicated
and creative performance enthusiasts on the planet," said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO ‚€“
SRT (Street and Racing Technology) Brand and Motorsports, Chrysler Group
LLC. "With its numerous new exterior appointments beyond our exclusive
Black Vapor Chrome wheels, not only will this new 392 Appearance Package
set the Charger SRT8 apart even further, it also brings another level of
exclusivity to our lineup as only 392 cars will receive this special
treatment during the 2013 and 2014 model years."

The 392 Appearance Package option will cost $2,495, and customers can begin ordering in
April.

Powered by the 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 engine that offers 470 horsepower
(351 kW) and 470 lb.-ft. (637 Nm) of torque across a wide rpm range,
performance numbers for the 2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 include 0-60 mph
acceleration in the high 4-second range; quarter mile in the high 12-second
range; 0-100-0 mph in less than 16 seconds; top speed of 175 mph and
stopping power from 60-0 mph in 120 feet.

Even with the high horsepower and torque numbers, up to 23 mpg on the
highway is achieved by the use of an active valve exhaust system that
allows the standard Fuel Saver Technology (four-cylinder mode) to engage
over a wide rpm range for efficient motoring or the use of all eight
cylinders when the extra power is needed. The active valve exhaust system
also allows for straight through mid and rear mufflers for a throaty
exhaust note under engine load.

The proven five-speed automatic transmission uses standard steering
wheel mounted paddle shifters or the center console mounted Auto Stick,
allowing for a choice of spirited shifting on both the road and the
racetrack. Both methods give the driver the ability to manually select
specific gears on the transmission.

New for 2013 is an improved adaptive damping suspension (ADS) system
that is expanded to three modes and tuned specifically for the Dodge
Charger SRT8 to provide an everyday performance ride or a much firmer race
track capable damping for more challenging driving situations.

In "Sport" mode, the damping system rebound and compression is locked to
a higher damping rate. Drivers can easily choose between settings with a
press of a button on the center stack to quickly change the shock damping
characteristics from "Auto" for everyday commuting to "Sport" for more
spirited driving situations.

In "Track" mode, the higher damping rates combine with a performance
shifting and gear holding feature that allows the driver full shift control
when using the steering wheel mounted paddle controls or AutoStick.

A new for 2013, standard launch control system helps maximize
straight-line acceleration.

When the vehicle is at a complete stop, the driver engages the system by
pressing the ESC button twice and then with their foot securely on the
brake, quickly applies full throttle. Launch control holds the engine at
optimal launch rpm (1,825) and waits for the driver to release the brake.
Launch control then uses engine torque management to achieve controlled
wheelslip for maximum acceleration up to 62 mph (100 kph).

On the inside, the full-color graphic Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) with exclusive Performance Pages includes timers for 0-60
mph, one-eighth mile and quarter-mile times, 60-0 braking distance, along
with lateral and longitudinal G-forces within the touchscreen display.

The instrument panel's 8.4-inch color touchscreen display
‚€“ the segment's largest standard display -- also
has all the same Performance Pages data as the EVIC, and is further
expanded to include steering angle, horsepower and torque outputs along
with engine gauges. The display is customizable to a driver selectable
background.

Safety and security The 2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 features more than 65 advanced safety and
security features, including standard Keyless Enter-N-Go and electronic
stability control (ESC) with segment-exclusive Ready Alert Braking and Rain
Brake Support safety features to improve overall vehicle handling and
performance.

In addition, standard front-row reactive head restraints, standard
full-length side-curtain air bags, driver's knee air bag and standard front
seat-mounted side-thorax air bags offer enhanced occupant protection to
passengers in the event of a collision.

Connectivity and infotainment The Dodge Charger SRT8 features an available 900-watt, 19-speaker
premium SRT performance audio surround-sound system from Harman Kardon. The system offers world premier
innovation, featuring a 32-volt Tracking Power Supply (TPS) 12-channel
Class D amplifier that delivers outstanding acoustics and brings
multi-dimensional, quality sound for all interior occupants.

The system uses GreenEdge speaker and amplifier technology to offer
superior sound quality and high Sound Pressure Level outputs with minimum
energy consumption. GreenEdge amplifiers alone outperform traditional
amplifier efficiency by up to 55 percent, representing a net efficiency of
more than 90 percent in some cases. The speakers are tuned for maximum
efficiency and perfectly matched to the amplifier output.

The 2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 is built at the Brampton Assembly plant in
Brampton, Ontario, Canada. The
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is $45,250 (plus $995
destination) for the SRT8 model and $42,250
(plus $995 destination) for the Super Bee
model.

SRT Track Experience Owners of any Chrysler Group SRT vehicle receive one day of
professional driving instruction as part of the SRT Track Experience,
designed to maximize their driving knowledge and skills on the street or
track. Sessions are held throughout the year at selected tracks.

The SRT vehicle lineup features five vehicles that are world-class
performance contenders and bring the latest in safety technologies and
creature comforts. The 2013 Chrysler 300 SRT8, Dodge Challenger SRT8 392,
Dodge Charger SRT8 and new 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT are joined by the
SRT flagship 2013 Viper and Viper GTS models which are making their highly
anticipated return to the high-performance sports car market.
